Solutions

  1. Review the SLS input/trace configuration at the logged position; a required value is missing or malformed.

When it happens

Trigger: The SLS input configuration fails validation (bad trace files, node definitions, or scheduler settings) with additional detail appended after the trailing space.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
